Newly bought laptop, battery maintenance problems

Nowadays, many notebook manufacturers have taken into account the fragility of the battery, and added the battery protection technology to the product, so the corresponding charging protection technology of different brands of notebook batteries is different, like some large manufacturers have done a good job in this regard, such as: IBM, HP, Toshiba, Compaq, etc. One of the most thoughtful is IBM, which detects battery discharge, and ThinkPad laptops will only automatically charge when the battery level drops below 95.

This can play a good role in protecting the battery, and now many other manufacturers have followed suit. So a battery like this, you don't need to unplug it when you're using it, because it will only charge when the battery level drops below 95.

If you use an external power supply for a long time, you can take off the battery, and the impact on the battery life is not great, and the life of the battery is calculated according to the number of times it is fully charged and discharged. However, when the voltage in your area is unstable or there are frequent power outages, or when you are doing important data operations, it is recommended not to take it off, because a sudden power failure is not good for the computer, and it can also prevent data loss.

1.When the power supply voltage is unstable, it is best to use batteries!

2.If you install the battery and use AC power to work for a long time, it is not good for the battery for a long time!

3.If the computer is not moving much on the desktop for a long time, and the power supply is stable, it is recommended to remove the battery.

4.If you move your computer from time to time when you use it, it is recommended to unplug the power supply when the battery is fully charged, and recharge it when the battery is empty.

Hello, I'm doing notebook repair!

As for what you said, as far as we know before!

The laptop battery is very important to charge for 10-12 hours at the time of the first charge, if you don't really charge it for the first time, some laptop batteries have a memory function, and the battery will lose more and more if it is not fully charged for the first time!

But if you do this well, the problem you mentioned below should not have a great impact on the rotation of power and battery! Because its capacity and longevity are certain! It's all tested before it leaves the factory! There is no good way!

If the voltage is not very stable, it is best to use the battery first and then the power supply! Take off the battery when you use the power supply! Hope it helps!

No, I don't usually pay attention to it, but it's best to not plug in the battery when you connect the power supply, but how many people do that.

Try to complete the first few times of charging and discharging the new battery, that is, recharge it when it is used up.

If you want to use the power supply in a fixed place such as a home, try to use the power supply. Some laptops will automatically disconnect the battery after charging.

In fact, lithium battery technology is very advanced now, not much worse. Don't worry too much.

Laptop batteries are often undercharged or even damaged after a long period of use, so you must pay attention to some tips when using: whether your laptop uses lithium or nickel-metal hydride, try to use up the power as much as possible and then recharge it (less than 5%), which is the best way to avoid the memory effect. In fact, lithium-ion batteries also have a certain memory effect, but they are much smaller than nickel-metal hydride batteries.

However, it should be noted that when charging, try to avoid too long time, generally within 12 hours.

The length of a battery's life is not determined by the total time it has been used, but by the number of times it has been charged and discharged. If you always attach the battery to the laptop without removing it, the battery will not remain fully charged as you would think, even after turning off the machine and removing the AC power. Laptop batteries consume power even when the computer is powered off due to the control circuitry integrated into the battery.

As soon as it is connected to the AC power supply, the battery will start charging, and whenever the power is turned on or off, the battery will be charged and discharged repeatedly, affecting the battery life.

For this reason, it is best to unplug the battery when using an AC external power supply, otherwise the battery will be in a hot state for a long time and its life will be affected. If the battery is not used for a long time, please flush and discharge it at least once every two months to ensure its activity. There is also an issue that needs to be taken care of when storing batteries.

At present, the lithium-ion batteries used in the vast majority of notebooks are often prone to over-discharge if they are not used for a long time, and may no longer be able to be charged. To prevent over-discharge, it can be kept in a cool, dry place in a half-charged state, and then charged to half a year again.

In addition, factors that affect battery life include the temperature of the use environment (it is recommended to use it below 30), the storage temperature of the battery, and the vibration of the battery. The battery will age after being used for a period of time, and the specific performance is that the internal resistance becomes larger, and the voltage at both ends rises relatively quickly when charging, so that it is easy to be judged by the charging control line to be full, and the capacity is naturally reduced. Battery correction is an effective way to deal with aging batteries, and a few notebooks will have dedicated battery correction software.

If your laptop doesn't have dedicated discharge software, then you can follow the steps below:

Disable screen saver;

Set the power usage scheme to "Always On" in Windows Power Management;

In the Alerts tab, set the Low Battery Alarm to 10% and the action to No Action;

Set the "Critical Power Shortage Alert" to 3% and the action to "Waiting";

Adjust the brightness of the screen to the maximum;

Confirm that all windows are closed and that all previously worked data is saved;

After confirming that the battery is charged at more than 80%, unplug the power supply and all external devices.

After the discharge is over, the notebook will automatically shut down, and then plug in the power supply to let the notebook charge, this process can be repeated 2 or 3 times, the purpose is to let the battery continue to discharge at a small current, and this discharge state is impossible to achieve in our daily use, and the effect is basically the same as those dedicated discharge software.

If you do not use your laptop or mobile phone or tablet product for a long time, please charge the battery to 50%, turn it off and remove the AC power supply** (adapter), and recharge the battery to 50% every three months to avoid over-discharging of the battery due to long-term storage and unused use.

When connecting a laptop or mobile phone tablet to an AC power supply for a long time, the battery needs to be discharged to 50% at least once every two weeks to reduce the battery being in a state of high power for a long time and easily reduce the battery life. Laptop users can extend their battery life with the myasus ASUS Battery Health Charging software.

The battery is optimally stored at 10°C - 35°C (50°F - 95°F), charged at 50%, and paired with ASUS Battery Health Charging software to extend battery life.

Avoid storing the battery in a humid environment, which can easily lead to the effect of increasing the discharge rate. If the temperature is too low, the chemical materials inside the battery will be damaged, and if the battery temperature is too high, there may be a danger.

Do not store your computer and cell phone or battery pack near heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, stoves, electric heaters, or other heat-generating devices that exceed 60 (140°F). If the temperature is overheated, the battery may ** or leak, creating a fire hazard.

Laptops use a plug-in battery, when the laptop is left for too long, the battery will be dead, the BIOS time and settings will be restored to the default value, it is recommended not to use the laptop for a long time, and the battery should be charged at least once a month.

Drain the charge, then fully charge, after fully charging and discharging. Use the power supply as much as possible to prevent battery wear and tear to prolong its life.

Try not to plug in the battery when you have a charger.

The battery is charged after it is exhausted as much as possible.

If the battery is plugged in, minimize plugging and unplugging the power supply and turning it on and off, which will reduce the battery life.

Normal use, don't worry so much, it's meaningless, the battery is a consumable, and it will be worn out after a few years.

First, the use of the new battery, you don't need to charge it first, because there is residual power in the factory, so put it in the laptop first, and then use it until the laptop prompts that the power is insufficient, and then connect the external power supply to start charging for the first time.

Nowadays, the batteries produced by regular manufacturers are not activated, so there is no need to charge them three times for 12 hours or more each time, as everyone thinks. But at least for the first charge, you can charge it for a little longer, almost the indicator light in the charging on the notebook goes off, and the display is full (different manufacturers, some manufacturers always light means full) and then charge for two or three more hours. In addition, it is quite important that during the first two charges, it is best not to use the computer, and do not use it while charging.

Second, in the process of using the battery, if the battery uses a certain amount of power, it is best to recharge after using up, that is, the so-called do not recharge the battery without using it, for example, a 6-cell battery should be able to standby for about 3 and a half hours, you use it for an hour without plugging in the adapter (charger), at this time there should be 60 70% of the power, then at this time, do not plug in the charger to start charging, it is best to use up the 70% of the electricity and then charge, charging halfway has the greatest impact on the life of the battery. Having said all this, in fact, the simple sentence is not to charge the battery that is half charged, and wait until it is used to about 10% before charging.

Third, some people take off the laptop battery when using the adapter, feel that they protect it first, and then use it when they want to go out, which is also not advisable, if you don't use the battery for a long time, it is not good for the battery, and it is not good for the notebook. If the ions in the battery are not allowed to flow for a long time, the contents of the battery will slowly fail, and the battery will not be able to conserve the power normally, and it will not be able to be filled with electrons.

Fourth, the standby time of the battery is a variable, that is to say, it is not a fixed manufacturer's nominal time, because the manufacturer's standby time of several hours generally only refers to doing nothing after turning on, and then waiting for the battery to run out of theoretical time, in the actual use process, it is generally just typing and surfing the Internet, which can be close to the manufacturer's nominal time, but if you watch movies and play games, this time will be reduced, because when watching movies and playing games, the CPU and graphics card, the two large consumers on the computer, will begin to work at full load. The amount of electricity used will increase. And if it's just simple basic functions such as surfing the Internet and typing, these two accessories are basically in a power-saving state. The same goes for other accessories.

Don't think that a sudden shortening of time means that there is a problem with the battery.
